what are the gifts you give to a birthday celebrant or any occasion?

I do not like to present with flower bouquets as the happiness is momentary. Especially in marriages, so many present flower bouquets and the recipient will receive it smile, pose for a photograph and video and put it aside. That is all. While vacating the Hall, how many bouquets can you carry home? This happened in my son's and daughter's marriage and I felt very sad to leave them all in the marriage Hall with the thought that everyone has took pains to buy them spending some money, bringing it and giving it to the bride or bridegroom with love and affection. We are not able to carry them all, even if carry home, where to keep them? If all the money is put together, how much is the wastage? That money would have helped the couple to buy something useful for the new family set up. It is of use only to the seller. Hence I always give material gifts only, depending upon the occasion, person and utility value.

It depends on who it is, but if I can't think of anything, I always fall back on a gift card to a book store. I think books are good gifts but I don't always know what someone will like, so this lets me "get them a book" without having to choose the book. I will always give a card with it as well. While it would be nice to be able to actually choose a material gift, I am not very good at it, so i stick to gift cards a lot.

hi amyson! that's a good way of expressing ur care for the person, i used to do that. now, i dont know what to tell them, maybe not that inspired lately, hehe. lately, am fond of drawings so i draw their face, put it a frame and give it to them. sometimes, we organize a surprise party for the person concerned. still, all the stuff i gave, be it my family or friends depend on my budget and time but i make it a point that it must be really special and truly intended for them. so there! :)

Hi,amyson,i am a person who thinks that,i want to treat me as a person who give special and unexpected gifts for any occasion.That is my weakness.In recent times i ordered cake with a shape of "20" for my sister's daughter who is celebrating 20 years birth day,that too i didn't revealed up to last minute.Have a nice time.

For my husband's and kids' birthdays, I ask them what they would like to receive for their birthdays. If it something I can afford, they'll get it from me. If not, I will still try to save for it but it has to be something reasonable and within my budget. The same goes to my mother and immediate family (brothers and sister. Oftentimes, they ask for simple things like books, a pair of socks, necktie, new clothes. My youngest daughter is so sweet, she often says she does not want any gift for her birthday, she just wants us to be a happy family. But, we still buy her gifts. There is nothing like seeing the excitement/expression on a child's face when he/she opens a present or presents.

I first give them their card. Then I take them out to eat. Then we go to the party. Then I give them something they wanted a month or 2 ago they still wanted but didn't have.

I gave something useful to the celebrant like clothes, books, or simply things that can be use in everyday lives.

Depends ofcourse on the person whose birthday it is. like, do I know him/her well? What does he/she like, what does he/she wants etc.. Always I give a unique funny birthday card, with a nice little story written myself inside it, about him or her. also, I take lots of thoughts in giving a present. I don't buy something randomly, I don't look atthe price, I jsut take a good look at what he/she may like and what he/she certainly woudn't expect to get. And to see the surprised face, is always a great feeling for me

It really depends on the occasion and who the person is. If it's a person i know and close with and knowing what he/she likes, definitely I will give him/her the presents that he/she likes. If it's someone else that i do not really know, then i just buy something that is relevant to the person or the occasion.

Hi there and smile! It depends on the birthday celebrant. I think i think of the things she/he likes, like clothes and other things. I like to give gifts that a birthday celebrant can use for a long time. Something that he or she will remember. Happy mylotting and smile always!

I usually give gifts that are handmade by me and I do not like to buy sometimes I prefer a real conversation or greeting which I am more excited to listen to the voice of the well wishers than a material gifts. I like the personal greeting which the one I love most. In cases the person is far from me I still prefer a long distance call or Ym. This is much sweeter than giving a commercialized gifts.

it depends really.if I know the person well,I will give him/her the gift s/he really loves.I will give a book to bookworm and a scented soap to a girly friend.I prefer giving gifts that they can use.

i usually give books as presents whenever its a friend or a family member's bday. i am not sure if they read what i have given them though. lol. they like to read that's why i give books. giving gifts should depend on the likes and interests of the persons you are going to give presents to.

I usually give cards too. The last gift I gave to a friends was a birthday cake. It was special. I am not usually a gift-giver, my kindness and being there with my friends are more important.
